Dark Harvest (2004)

Sadly Over-hyped

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This has to be the single funniest movie I have ever seen in my life.....I rented it with a bunch of buddies knowing how ridiculous it was suppose to be. I'll tell ya.......I was on the ground in the fetal position crying at points. I highly recommend you see this movie, you're always looking forward to how much worse the movie can actually get as it progresses......but oh it gets worse/a billion times more hilarious. Literally, everything about this movie is terrible but it makes it that much more hilarious. The camera shooting and positioning could have been executed better by a five year old, the acting is pathetic and some of the scenes look like they came from Saturday night live.

Dark Harvest is about a group of friends that go to a farm(it belongs to one of the friends relatives or something) for a getaway. But there are killer scarecrows lurking there(there was something about a curse in there too but I forgot what that was about).The acting in this movie is awful, I don't know what the director was thinking when he was casting actors and actresses. The script is the same story as the acting "awful"(this statement coming up is very obvious but..) if there was better acting and a better script this could have turned out "okay".The directing stunk too, I see no potential in this guy's future. After all these negatives this movie still maintains a "fun" factor that bumps it up to a two. The last plus is they don't use CGI! My overall thoughts on this film are it's bad, real bad, but so bad it's "fun" so it gets a 2/10

Another stupid "movie". The quality of image is correct. Sound too. Music is middle. The guy try make music like in Halloween.For one rare time, producer/director choose no-anorexic girls. It is cause this "movie" take one week to do and cost $10,000. Does it mean when producer have money they choose all anorexic girls? Good question.But girls in this "movie" are physically correct. But they are not good actress. Neither guys too. But maybe it's just cause the "story" of this "movie" have no value.I'm sure we give $10,000 to some teen who like movie, and they can create a better movie.Don't lose your time to watch this "thing".

I actually rate this a 1.5, and I only rate it that highly only because of the skinny dipping scene, no matter how lame it may be.Some teen agers go to an old deserted farm house left to one of them by their dead grandfather, unaware that there had been several murders there decades earlier because their grandfather had made a pact with the devil for a good harvest- couldn't the guy have thought of something better to sell his soul for? The man's grandson and his friends are set up to be the next sacrifice, for reasons which are never explained. The stereotypical teenage son and his girlfriend, the black guy with a white girlfriend, and the two lesbians have to do battle with three killer scarecrows- but, don't be tricked like I was, this isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. It's mostly just a lot of chit chat about ball kicking, dope smoking, and the lead actor complaining about never knowing his parents. The camera work is atrocious and shaky, occasionally panning to the wall behind the actors, instead of the actors themselves, it may have been done on a hand-held camcorder in some scenes, which maybe a good thing since the scarecrows look like they just came from some kid's birthday party, and apparently they could only hire two people to play the three scarecrows! Some of the best movies I've seen have been these low budget, independent horror movies, but this one is just pathetic. The cast and crew seems to have just been made up of a bunch of people who knew each other, had never acted before and had no intention of acting again, and had a few thousand dollars (I can't believe this movie cost $130.000 to make) and a weekend of free time on their hands- even the lesbian skinny dipping scene is lame, but, as I said, that is still the best part of this lame little movie. I think it's amusing also, that as of this writing, there is a sequel to this film which no one has even bothered adding to IMDb.
